‘We must properly compensate our teachers’ – Sonny Angara
Reelectionist Senator Sonny Angara said the government should pay teachers more if it wants to improve the quality of education in Philippine public schools.
Angara expressed hope that the teacher’s pay adjustment would be equivalent or close to the rate he has been pushing since 2016 when he filed Senate Bill 135.
Under the bill, the minimum salary grade level of teachers will be adjusted from Salary Grade 11 to 19, or double their current monthly base pay of P20,179 to P42,099.
Angara calls on the DBM to prioritize the inclusion of teachers’ pay hike in the proposed 2019 budget to see what funds can be realigned.
“Our teachers are considered to be the heart of the educational system. The government needs to give priority to their welfare and interests,” Angara said.
